Specialized Criminal Investigations

Specialized Criminal Investigations is comprised of three investigative units: Homicide & Missing Persons, Sex Crimes, and Hold Up. Each of these units is staffed by highly trained and experienced criminal investigators who are responsible for carrying out investigations into the most sensitive and serious of offences.

The units within Specialized Criminal Investigations have each established reputations for excellence within the policing community, not only in Canada, but worldwide.

The TPS is proud of this reputation.

• Ensuring the safety and security of the citizens of Toronto
• Assisting and supporting victims of crime
• Performing thorough and professional criminal investigations, and (iv) bringing perpetrators of violent crimes to justice
